He turns back to George who is still in the car (I think), "Well Professor, it looks like we have our perceptive friend Hansen on the scene, a young reporter, two possible work colleagues, Douglas' brother and a stranger.

George and Martin walk up to the small gathering. The priest glances over to take note of both men, then continues on with his brief prayer, completing the ceremony. Afterwards,
Philip Douglas shakes hands and begins talking with the pastor.
Meanwhile, the Police Detective ends his conversation with
Professor Moore with a forced smile and clap on the back, then walks over to George and Martin, saying,
"Mr. LeBlanc, am I correct? If my memory serves me, the last time that we met was at the Amherst Hotel following the death of one seaman. And here we are, paying our respects at the funeral of another. Quite a coincidence, wouldn't you say?
"Oh, and good morning Doctor Barrow," he says, while reaching out to shake hands.
"It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Professor Moore mentioned that you were a highly regarded scientist who recently joined the expedition. He didn't mention that you were an officer, however," he comments while looking over your uniform.
You see Professor Moore standing next to Starkweather across the lawn, both men carefully watching your interactions with the detective. James Starkweather, for once, is uncharacteristically somber.
